Big fights in past week
There were 28 hockey fights this past week (October 28-November 3) but I'll just talk about the best fights of the week. On Thursday, November 1st, in the Blues-Wild game people were hoping for D.J. King and Derek Boogaard to drop the gloves and oh they did. They had an ok fight with both guys landing punches. Two of King's punches looked to actually land on Boogaard's chin. But then Boogaard came back with some punches on King. I would give that fight a slight edge to Boogaard. Watch the YouTube video of this fight below.
Also on Thursday, Ducks' Travis Moen got to get some revenge on Blue Jackets' Jared Boll for his high hit on Moen. They had a long fight where I would give the edge to Moen. There were three fights in that Ducks-Blue Jackets game. In the Coyotes-Stars game on Friday, Josh Gratton knocked down Brad Winchester in a fight, which I talked about in my previous post. On Saturday night I surprised to see Devils' Mike Rupp drop the gloves with Rangers' enforcer Colton Orr. But he did and he did ok in a spirited fight. I gave that one a draw.
Another big fight with the Wilds' Derek Boogaard this past week. On Saturday, Flames' Eric Godard instigated a fight with Boogaard and they had an ok fight, not really like their previous fights. I gave Boogaard a slight edge in that fight.

More first round fights
Here are the rest of the hockey fights that happened during the first round of the playoffs. On April 17th, between the Thrashers and Rangers game, Ilya Kovalchuk and Sean Avery got into a fight and it was mostly Kovalchuk who threw the punches. Decision to Kovalchuk. That same day, in the Ducks-Wild game, Corey Perry and Brent Burns had a spirited bout with Burns getting the upper hand in their fight. Later in that game, Kent Huskins and Adam Hall had a wrestling match with Shawn Thornton jumping in there. And Brad May sucker punched Kim Johnsson.
On April 20th in the Lightning-Devils game, Andre Roy and Michael Rupp dropped the gloves and Rupp got the decision over Roy in a surprising fight. Then a little later, Nolan Pratt pounded on Jamie Langenbrunner with a lot of body shots. Decision to Pratt. On April 21st, in the Flames-Red Wings game, Dion Phaneuf and Todd Bertuzzi somehow got fighting majors when they really just wrestled. I give this a draw because nothing really happened in this one.
The second round of the playoffs started Wednesday night with no fights but I'm expecting there to be some before the round is over.

Only one fight: Eager vs Rupp
There was only one hockey fight last night and it was between Flyers' Ben Eager and Devils' Mike Rupp. This was their second fight with each other of the season. It wasn't much of a fight as Rupp tried to hold off Eager with his reach. They both managed to throw a few, Eager looked to throw more and Rupp got the takedown. I give this one a draw. Hopefully this weekend has some action, although it's near the end of the season so some teams may just be trying to stay healthy.

Quick update for the past few days
On Monday there were three fights, two of them in the Oilers-Kings game. In the Oilers-Kings game, Brad Winchester and Scott Thornton went at it. It started because Winchester layed out a Kings' player and then Thornton came right over and went at Winchester. Later in the game, in the third period Brad Winchester went after Raitis Ivanans because of a hit and the fight was mostly a wrestling match with no winner. In the Blues-Flames game, Jamal Mayers and Rhett Warrener went at it with Mayers looking to get the only good punch in during the fight. I gave the edge to Mayers in that fight.
On Tuesday there was only one fight and it was Stars' Krys Barch pounding on Flyers' Denis Gauthier after Gauthier went low on a Stars' player. Barch threw all the punches on a turtling Gauthier, decision to Barch.
On Wednesday we had another one fight night, with old-timer Gary Roberts of the Penguins going with Devils' Mike Rupp in a fight near the Devils' bench. This one was mostly a wrestling match with Roberts looking to throw Rupp over into the Devils' bench. The old-timer still has it.
On Thursday there were only two fights. In the Capitals-Bruins game Matt Bradley and Andrew Alberts dropped the gloves. It was mostly Bradley in this fight as Alberts looked to have balance issues. In the Blackhawks-Kings game, Cam Barker and Jamie Lundmark dropped the gloves and had a spirited bout. Lundmark looked to land a few nice punches, and I would give the edge to Lundmark in that fight.

Rivalries are building back up it seems
Last night we had some old-time hockey with passion and intensity in the games. Most of the games this season have lacked just that. With the playoffs coming teams are playing for their playoff lives.
I have only seen the Flyers-Rangers and Bruins-Sabres fights from last night so I can only comment on those bouts right now. In the Flyers-Rangers game, Mike Richards and Sean Avery went at it after Todd Fedoruk was nailing every Ranger in sight. I gave that one a draw. Later in the game Alexandre Picard fought Aaron Ward with Ward throwing most of the punches, if not all of them. Ward got the decision in that one, but he also hurt his hand in that fight.
In the Bruins-Sabres there were two fights with Jeremy Reich vs Adam Mair, and Andrew Ference vs Jochen Hecht. Both scraps were spirited and both looked to be draws. I might give an edge to Reich in his fight but Mair landed some at the end of the fight. Hecht landed one huge punch on Ference, but that was after Ference layed a bunch of consecutive punches on Hecht's noggin.
You can download fight clips of both of those fights here. You can watch the videos below:

I finally got to see the other hockey fights from Saturday night. There were quite a few. The Devils-Islanders game had three fights. First was Cam Janssen and Aaron Asham in a spirited punch-fest. I give that one a draw, watch the video below.
Next in the Devils-Islanders game was Mike Rupp vs Drew Fata. Rupp didn't want to fight Chris Simon so he took on the smaller Fata and wailed away on him. Rupp gets the decision in this one, but loses respect by not going with Simon when Simon challenged him. Then there was Chris Simon taking out his frustration on Devils' defenseman Mark Fraser. Simon gets his left hand going and pounds Fraser.
In the chippy and feisty Kings-Ducks game there were a lot of scrums and pushes and shoves, and only one fight occurred in that game. Tom Kostopoulos and Shane O'Brien went at it in a quick bout which had no clear winner. The Lightning and Panthers have had some battles this season and it seems to be turning into a real rivalry. There were two ok fights in their game on Saturday. First there was Nick Tarnasky and Steve Montador going at it in not much of a fight as Montador lost his balance. Later in the game Andre Roy and Alexei Semenov dropped the gloves in a quick fight with Semenov getting in a few good shots on Roy. I would give the edge to Semenov, maybe a draw.

Rupp knocks down Coburn
Not much action last night as there was just one hockey fight with the New Jersey Devils' Mike Rupp going at it with the Atlanta Thrashers' Braydon Coburn. Earlier Coburn hit Parise into the boards hard, so later Rupp knew what he had to do, enforcing, and he did it perfectly. Rupp's second punch landed and down went Coburn. Coburn got up after the fight and was bleeding, check out the picture below. There are a lot of games tonight and I'm hoping for at least a few hockey fights.

Two ok fights on Wednesday
Last night there were only two fights but there was nothing great about them. The first fight of the night was between New Jersey Devils' forward Michael Rupp and St. Louis Blues' defenseman Bryce Salvador, which was more of a wrestling match as both guys didn't throw many punches. The second fight of the night was between San Jose Sharks' forward Ryane Clowe and Edmonton Oilers' defenseman Matt Greene. Their fight was more spirited because of a hit by Clowe on Ryan Smyth. I would give the edge to Clowe in their fight. This was the second fight that Clowe and Greene have had against each other this season.
